Tuesday's Sound Off

To the person who signed themselves a Republican who votes Democrat, I would suggest you stop deceiving yourself because you are not a Republican. You support funding education that does not educate. You support immigration for those who do it illegally instead of a legal way. You support gay marriage which goes in direct violation to what the Founding Fathers intended.

Traffic laws are meant to be followed by everyone, not just me. The blinkers on your car tell me where you are going. I cannot read your mind. You almost hit me because I thought you were going straight and you ended up turning in front of me. I don’t appreciate that. Put your blinker on so I know where you’re going and it will avoid any kind of tension, any kind of wreck, anything at all. Use your blinkers.

THE BEST DRIVER YOU’LL EVER KNOW

I read the comment by a senior who is in his 70s and still working and said he paid in over $2,000 and they only gave him $48 out of that $2,000. As I said before there’s also another thing going on about what they’re doing to a man, stopping his payments for no reason. And as I said before, beware.

I am a proud Republican and at least the Republicans did not give all the work away like NAFTA, like Mr. Clinton did and then his wife messed up all of our health insurance. No I do not like our Republican governor but then Democratic Rendell didn’t do anything and gave us a bunch of empty promises too. The country’s a mess. Who are we going to blame it on? I don’t know. The Democrats have lied. Look at our country.

PROUD REPUBLICAN, NOT A DEMOCRAT

I think school policies should be changed when students are absent. If my child is sick and I’m giving them over-the-counter medications, it could take up to three days to get better but if I send them to school after the third day, I’m required to get a doctor’s excuse. Many people nowadays don’t have health insurance so they can’t afford to take their child to the doctor. We are taking care of our children but some illnesses really do not require a doctor’s care.

Phil Robertson, Duck Dynesty, got suspended for talking about gays and lesbians. I totally agree with every statement he said. It’s pretty sad that the people who have beliefs get penalized for telling the truth about how they feel but the gays, lesbians and everyone else can talk publicly about it and they don’t get penalized. The people who are righteous and believe in God are being mistreated now. This is wrong.

MERRY CHRISTMAS AND GOD BLESS

I have my CDL and that’s my bread and butter. I’m not allowed to use a cell phone while I drive and I take that seriously. I can’t wait till they pass a law so the rest of you drivers out there cannot use a phone either. I see many of you getting to a traffic light and you pick up the phone and you quickly text. The world will be a better place when you have to put down your phone and drive with two hands on the wheel and I can’t wait.

I seem to have the same stomach rash as Jim Fitch experienced. I solved it though. No dieting, no second opinions. I just gave up driving.

MARTHA

Pottstown and Montgomery County take good care of trying to stem the tide of dope and prostitution. They list pictures in The Mercury. However, it never stops. Maybe it is time to list the photographs of the people who buy these services. I’ll bet this would slow things down after pictures of users showed up in the paper. Give it a minute’s thought.

MINUTE MAN

I see from the recent letter we have another so-called expert on the nuclear reactor. Folks, these people have no degrees in nuclear engineering and haven’t even worked in the industry. In fact, they are only experts in fear mongering and demagoguery and give responsible environmentalism a bad name.

A RESPONSIBLE CITIZEN

Come on, what did you expect a Duck Dynasty character to say? One down and two to go. Who came up with that bright idea anyway?

I’m assuming Gov. Corbett is a lot smarter than me because he has a high paying job and went to college, and I only finished high school. He says he doesn’t think it’s right to discriminate against gays and he’s trying to help that but on the other hand he’s not accepting them being married. How intelligent is that? Unfortunately I think the gay people have been discriminated against just as much as the black people have all these years.
